Aditi Sahu

Aditi Sahu is a senior research scientist at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) in New York City. Her research focuses on non-invasive imaging technologies for diagnosing skin cancers and research on tumor microenvironments. She has authored peer-reviewed research articles and has received multiple research awards in dermatology and optics engineering.[1]

Early life and education

After completing her PhD studies, she joined the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) as a postdoctoral researcher in 2017.[2]

Career

At MSK, Sahu has conducted research on advanced optical imaging techniques, including reflectance confocal microscopy and other high-resolution modalities, related to the detection and characterization of skin cancers[3] Her work on tumor microenvironments in skin cancers was published in the scientific journal Nature Communications.[4] Her research on optical coherence tomography has been published in the Journal of Biomedical Optics and Journal of Nuclear Imaging.[5][6]

In 2019 and 2021, projects for which she was principal investigator received Dermatology Fellowship awards from the Melanoma Research Alliance.[7][8] She was awarded the Ashley Trenner Research Grant Award by the Skin Cancer Foundation, based in the United States, in October 2022.[9]

In 2025, she co-authored a publication on in vivo vascular biology imaging using super-high magnification dermatoscopy techniques.[10]

Awards

Sahu received the Best Translational Research award from the Society of Optics and Photonics at the SPIE Photonics West Conference in San Francisco.[11] In 2018 and 2025, she earned a full scholarship for the Women in Photonics Workshop in Germany, organized by IPHT Jena.[12]
